I've had this little collection going for a few months. The plates hadn't seen the light of day, but now, they're having a wall to themselves, (I hope, Taff?!).
SB19 GKZ is a Volvo B11R/Plaxton Panther new to Lothian Coaches in April 2019 as their number 9011.
It was soon reregistered to LC19 RAB but has now reverted back to its original plate. It is seen here in Edinburgh operating a cruise ship day tour.
Amtrak has been working on maintaining or upgrading the Downeaster tracks near my house. They are replacing the railroad ties, and this is a pile of "tie plates", which go in between the rails and the ties. Who knew? I'll tell you who - Google's AI knew. It won't be long before AI knows everything and we know next to nothing. But I digress.

The calmly flowing waters of a swollen Kickapoo Creek gently touch the concrete footings currently supporting the passage of this heavy, 131-car, southbound Union Pacific coal drag as its two, lead, AC six-axles ride their dynamic brakes, coasting downhill across a combination deck plate and lattice through truss bridge along the former C&NW "SI Line" outside Bartonville on a gloomy July morning. This train of loaded aluminum BethGons -- symbol CNAPW 14 -- are topped out with over 18,000 tons of Wyoming's finest black diamonds; Filled at Peabody's North Antelope Mine in the state's rich Powder River Basin, these hoppers have only a few short miles left to travel before reaching their destination at NRG Energy's Powerton Generating Station, near Pekin. The train will soon cross the Illinois River drawbridge and immediately make a right turn onto the IMRR and down into Crescent Yard for interchange where they'll tie down and the loads will wait for an Illinois & Midland crew to spot the cars at the plant for final dumping. Slated for decommission come the end of 2028 due to the country's relentless insistence on "cleaner" energy alternatives, Powerton is the sole remaining, actively burning coal-fired power plant to still remain standing in the greater Peoria area, outliving the facilities at Havana, Hennepin and Canton's Duck Creek (2019), and eventually the E.D. Edwards Station at Bartonville (2022). Once closed, it'll be another major hit in activity levels for a route that is already down in traffic. Twice weekly scheduled manifest service between Peoria and Clinton, IA, as needed coal, grain and ethanol unit traffic, and seasonal ballast trains are pretty much the bulk of what traverses this line.
For southbounds, this is the final, and most dramatic, crossing atop a snaky Kickapoo Creek which twists and turns beneath the rails of the Peoria Subdivision in six different locations within just about a short, two mile stretch of track. Just about a half mile back from this bridge, the train is still working through the CTC controlled interlocking at "Peoria JCT" where the Peoria Sub main to South Pekin splits from UP's "Low Line," which routes trains for Peoria area interchange into and out of their small Adams St. Yard just a short distance away on the city's southwest side. The single-tracked Peoria Subdivision, which runs south out of Nelson away from the busy Geneva Sub, uses a combination of CTC, TWC and ABS infrastructure to route what little traffic runs down this line and is also the only class 1 of four that has a "through route" through the city. A line that does not get much attention from photographers, an older "winged" EMD SD70ACe on the point of a well timed coal load just was enough for me to grab the camera and quickly pick it off at this very seldom shot location.
I sure could do without that walkway.

Special:
- Enzo Ferrari commissioned Giotto Bizzarini in 1961 to construct a chassis and Gruppo Bertone, Turin to construct the body for a concept car, code named "Mille". But it did not grace the Ferrari standards, so the concept was sold the electro chemical company of his close friend Oronzio de Nora. He formed a new company called ASA (owned by the De Nora Electrochemical Group) to build cars.
- At the Paris Motorshow of 1965 the ASA 411 Berlinetta, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro (Bertone), was revealed. The aluminium body was designed by Bertone, but built by Corbetta / Ellena Torino while the engine was an upgraded (1032cc straight-4) Ferrari engine, code named "Ferrarina".
I found this trying to overcome my quarter plate issue with the 9x9 Go board. The slight bowing you see is nonexistent with ample side support (1x2, 2x2 bricks, etc). I am not sure the hinge tops are quite quarter plates, but I am sure the raised lettering on these parts isn't helping.
I tried using some plates, tiles, and flags to determine the actual fraction of a plate, but when I broke out the calipers I found that the plates, tiles, and flags I was using were not quite the dimensions I expected, so I just took a sample of 32 hinge tops and with statistics concluded the actual fraction is about 5/16 of a plate.
I bought these two plates for $1.75 each. Talk about devaluing art. They probably took hours of labor.

Thank you for viewing and favouring my photographs.
on a plate dusted with dark chocolate powder are nests of rice and fruity porridge, all topped with a sprinkling of pumpkin, sesame, and pomegranate seeds
the fruity porridge is porridge blended with fruits, custard and semolina - whatever i had to hand from the countertop freezer that i fancied :) also added for colour and even more flavour were turmeric, ginger and cinnamon powders
the microwave has packed up so the fruity porridge with a cup of water was all heated slowly in a saucepan on the hob. tasted ok

My dinner last night; fresh tuna steak, nectarine, tomato, avocado and cucumber, with balsamic dressing. Not the most creative but it will have to do.
ANSH 125 (14) on my plate (get creative)
A fast, Nickel Plate Freight charges east over the wooden trestle at Baker Creek, just a half mile or so northwest of the Michigan town of Carland, on a misty morning in August. This re-creation was staged back in 2009, during a Lerro Productions photo shoot on the Great Lakes Central Railroad, featuring Nickel Plate Road Berkshire Locomotive #765 from the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society, and Pere Marquette Berkshire #1225 from the Owosso, MI-based Steam Railroading Institute (SRI). This incredible event, featuring the only two remaining, operable Lima Berkshire Locomotives was only made possible when the 765, which is based in Indiana, visited the SRI for an unrelated railfan festival in early August of 2009. Thanks to the SRI's host railroad, the Great Lakes Central, it was possible to photograph both of these American classics doing 40 mph run-bys with freight trains over a two-day period, including some double-headed action featuring BOTH locomotives.
These are my plates. I love them, and that each one is a different color, no repeats, at least of the same size.
I like to be different, none of those same ol' same ol' plates like my parents.

My first such plate in Leipzig!

Another engine plate at the Leighton Buzzard steam railway. Not originally a steam railway, it was used to transport sand from the local quarry. When closed, enthusiasts re-opened with engines bought or donated to the railway from all over the world.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works (BLW) was an American manufacturer of railroad locomotives from 1825 to 1951. Originally located in Philadelphia, it moved to nearby Eddystone, Pennsylvania, in the early 20th century. The company was for decades the world's largest producer of steam locomotives, but struggled to compete as demand switched to diesel locomotives. Baldwin produced the last of its 70,000-plus locomotives in 1951, before merging with the Lima-Hamilton Corporation on September 11, 1951, to form the Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corporation.
